Can we change back to the old font?

I second that. Everything feels like on 115% zoom.

I am also not much comfortable with any changes in anything. It's probably tied to my Asperger's syndrome.

I like the new font. Easier on old eyes.

I think it looks stretched and squeezed, like a 4:3 aspect movie stretched to a 16:9 screen, which is definitely not a compliment.

Agreed. Quite a weird feeling.

2nd.

The youngsters will eventually get used to it. It does look unusual to me too but it's just a larger bold font. In a week or 2 it will look just normal.

If enough vBulletin sites follow the bold-title-font revolution, the herd is sure to follow.

The default font is supposed to be "Tahoma". We think the old font might have been "Verdana".

You should be able to override font sizes with your browser's zoom control. It should apply the scaling factor permanently after you set it once for a particular web site.

Tahoma: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Verdana: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Arial: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Georgia: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Edit: On our screen Tahoma, Verdana and Georgia look the same. (!?)

I see the current font being Verdana, while the previous one was either Tahoma or Arial. I think it was Arial, but I am not sure.

Also, zooming doesn't help much, because the forum contents tend to stretch out to the sides always. I attached screenshots of 80%, 100%, and 125% zoom.
